In the small town of Wieliczka in Poland, there is a place that looks like an underground temple. That is the "Wieliczka Salt Mine". It has been excavated since the 13th century, and is said to be over 300m deep and over 300km long! But it's not just the size that's amazing. Inside the mine, there are sculptures, chapels, and even chandeliers made entirely of salt, making it seem like a fantasy world. In particular, the "St. Kinga Chapel" is breathtakingly beautiful. The glow of the salt emerges in the silent space, and it feels like your soul is being cleansed. Once a source of wealth for kings, it is now a World Heritage Site that attracts the hearts of many people. It's a little strange to be able to be so moved underground, but it's also very wonderful! ️
